Dave Castle, also known as Fernan-Nuñez Castle, Château de Dave and Château Fernan-Nuñez, is a château in the village of Dave, now a part of the city of Namur, Belgium. It was originally a medieval structure from the 14th century, the centre of power of the influential sieurs de Dave, but was ruined in the 17th century, and reconstructed in the 18th and 19th centuries by the Dukes of Fernan-Nuñez, whence the alternative name. They enlarged the castle during the 19th century. Their descendants still live in the castle.
